Often, the set of all such input transformations forms a Lie group, the most prominent examples being scale-invariant (, ) and translational-invariant () systems, the latter comprising linear systems with transfer function zeros at the origin. Here, we derive a necessary and sufficient normal form for invariant systems and, by analyzing this normal form, provide a complete characterization of the mechanism by which invariance can be achieved. In this normal form, all invariant systems (i) estimate the applied input transformation by means of an integral feedback, and (ii) then apply the inverse of this estimate to the input before processing it in any other way. We demonstrate our results based on three examples: a scale-invariant "feed-forward loop", a bistable switch, and a system resembling the core of the mammalian circadian network.}, subject = {Invariant systems}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LugmaierBrunnerPrueggleretal., author = {Lugmaier, Andreas and Brunner, Helfried and Pr{\"u}ggler, Wolfgang and Gl{\"u}ck, Natalie and Kupzog, Friederich and Fechner, Hubert and Tauschek, Ursula and Rieder, Thomas and Derler, Karl and M{\"u}hlberger, Thomas}, title = {RoadmapSmart Grids Austria Der Weg in die Zukunft der elektrischen Stromnetze!Pathway to the future of electrical power grids!}, series = {FEEI - Fachverband der Elektro- und Elektronikindustrie / {\"O}sterreichs E-Wirtschaft}, booktitle = {FEEI - Fachverband der Elektro- und Elektronikindustrie / {\"O}sterreichs E-Wirtschaft}, subject = {Smart Grids}, language = {de} } @article{KubingerPeschakWoeberetal., author = {Kubinger, Wilfried and Peschak, Bernhard and W{\"o}ber, Wilfried and Sulz, Clemens}, title = {Bildgebende Sensorsystems f{\"u}r robotische Systeme in der Agrar- und Landtechnik}, series = {e\&i Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik}, volume = {134}, journal = {e\&i Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik}, number = {6}, pages = {316 -- 322}, subject = {Sensor}, language = {de} } @article{HagauerMatlschweigerTippelreitheretal., author = {Hagauer, Josef and Matlschweiger, Ulrich and Tippelreither, Christian and Lutz, Markus and Hribernig, Thomas and Lackner, Maximilian}, title = {Controlling Metal Fires through Cellulose Flake Blanketing Followed by Water Spray Cooling}, series = {Fire}, volume = {5}, journal = {Fire}, number = {3}, doi = {10.3390/fire5030083}, abstract = {The traditional methods of fighting metal fires are not always safe for firefighters. The sand and salts that are thrown onto the fire to suffocate the flames can lead to splashes of molten metal, putting the firefighters and the surroundings at risk. A novel process is described where magnesium fires are brought under control using a simple two-step process. First, coated cellulose flakes, which contain approx. 30\% inorganic salts, are blown onto the fire from a distance of several meters. Due to its low bulk density, the material settles smoothly on the fire and immediately covers the flames for several seconds. Before the hot metal can break through this cover, a fine water spray is applied to the fire. The water spray wets the top layer of the cellulose flakes, which will begin to char from the bottom. The water evaporates from within the cellulose flake layer and withdraws heat. It was observed that no hydrogen is formed and that this technique can safely control fires. It is judged that 90 kg of flakes could safely bring a pile of 75 kg of burning Mg flakes under control. By using a pneumatic conveying unit for the flakes, firefighters can effectively and efficiently cover the flames from a safe distance. This novel method could be recommended to firefighters in industrial magnesium processing plants, as well as local firefighters in the vicinity of such plants.}, subject = {magnesium fire}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WoeberKeferKubingeretal., author = {W{\"o}ber, Wilfried and Kefer, Martin and Kubinger, Wilfried and Szuegyi, Daniel}, title = {Evaluation of Daylight and Thermal Infra-Red based Detection for Platooning Vehicles}, series = {Annals of DAAM for 2012 and Proceedings of the 23rd International DAAM Symposium}, booktitle = {Annals of DAAM for 2012 and Proceedings of the 23rd International DAAM Symposium}, pages = {719 -- 722}, subject = {Vehicle}, language = {en} } @incollection{WoeberPeschakOtrebski, author = {W{\"o}ber, Wilfried and Peschak, Bernhard and Otrebski, Richard}, title = {ASK: Entwicklung eines modularen Systems zur Automatisierung landwirtschaftlicher Maschinen}, series = {Intelligente Systeme - Stand der Technik und neue M{\"o}glichkeiten.

For this purpose, the carcasses of 26 Holstein Friesian bulls that had been fattened on the same private farm were assigned to two experimental groups based on their age at slaughter: a young group (YG) (average age: 17.0 ± 1.0 months old) and an old group (OG) (average age: 22.0 ± 1.0 months old). The percentage of crude protein, panel tenderness score, polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and saturated fatty acid (SFA) content, the PUFA/SFA ratio and the hypocholesterolemic fatty acid (DFA)/hypercholesterolemic fatty acid (OFA) ratio of the bull carcasses decreased significantly with increasing slaughter age. By contrast, the OFA content of the carcasses significantly increased (p < 0.05) with increasing slaughter age. Advanced slaughter age resulted in lower panel tenderness scores. Additionally, the meat of the bulls in the OG was considered to be less healthy because of the less desirable fatty acid composition and nutritional indices, such as the PUFA/SFA and hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic ratios, compared to the meat from the bulls in the YG. Furthermore, the intramuscular fat and internal fat contained high percentages of PUFA and SFA and high PUFA/SFA and hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic ratios. Interestingly, the percentage of OFA content in the internal and intramuscular fat tissues decreased with increasing slaughter age. In conclusion, this study provided evidence that slaughter age and muscle and fat type are essential sources of variations in the textural characteristics, sensory panel attributes and fatty acid profile of meat from Holstein Friesian bulls.}, subject = {fatty acid profile}, language = {en} } @article{BağcıkKocErtenetal., author = {Bağc{\i}k, Caner and Ko{\c{c}}, Fisun and Erten, Kadir and Esen, Selim and Palangi, Valiollah and Lackner, Maximilian}, title = {Lentilactobacillus buchneri Preactivation Affects the Mitigation of Methane Emission in Corn Silage Treated with or without Urea}, series = {Fermentation}, volume = {8}, journal = {Fermentation}, number = {12}, doi = {10.3390/fermentation8120747}, abstract = {The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different forms of Lentilactobacillus buchneri on the in vitro methane production, fermentation characteristics, nutritional quality, and aerobic stability of corn silage treated with or without urea. The following treatments were applied prior to ensiling: (1) no urea treatment and LB; (2) no urea treatment+freeze dried LB; (3) no urea treatment+preactivated LB; (4) with urea treatment+no LB; (5) with urea treatment+freeze dried LB; (6) with urea treatment+preactivated. LB was applied at a rate of 3 × 108 cfu/kg on a fresh basis, while urea was applied at a rate of 1\% on the basis of dry matter. Data measured at different time points were analyzed according to a completely randomized design, with a 2 × 3 × 5 factorial arrangement of treatments, while the others were analyzed with a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement. Preactivated LB was more effective than freeze-dried LB in reducing silage pH, ammonia nitrogen, cell-wall components, yeast count, and carbon dioxide production, as well as increasing lactic acid and residual water-soluble carbohydrate and aerobic stability (p < 0.0001). A significant reduction in the methane ratio was observed after 24 h and 48 h incubation with preactivated forms of LB (p < 0.001). The results indicated that preactivated LB combined with urea improved fermentation characteristics, nutritional quality, and aerobic stability and reduced the methane ratio of corn silages.}, subject = {gas production}, language = {en} }
